London: Adam & Charles Black (1906). illus., general table, map, xxiv; 288 pp.

Prepared by Michael Steer

Richard Doddridge Blackmore (1825-1900), popularly known as R. D. Blackmore, was one of the most famous English novelists of the second half of the nineteenth century. He won acclaim for vivid descriptions and personification of the countryside, sharing with Thomas Hardy a Western England background and a strong sense of regional setting in his works. He was often referred to as the "Last Victorian" and was a pioneer of the movement in fiction that continued with Robert Louis Stevenson and others. He has been described as "proud, shy, reticent, strong-willed, sweet-tempered, and self-centred." Apart from his novel Lorna Doone, which has enjoyed continuing popularity, his work has gone out of print. This engaging book is a relatively early contributor to North Devon's 'Doone Industry'. Blackmore's remarkable novel spawned an industry with every tourist business in the area making use of the name. By 1925 Exmoor was described as Lorna Doone country and many books appeared, especially from the 1930s, seeking to turn the novel into historical fact and guide tourists to the locations of incidents in the novel. The Blackmore Country is designated by Snell as the land between Culmstock and Ashford in Devon; and running from Oare in Somerset to Combe Martin in Devon. This rare and much sought-after book was produced digitally by Google from a copy in the University of California, Davis, Library collection and can be downloaded from HathiTrust. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries. These books, on which copyright has expired, are available for free educational and research use, both as individual books and as full collections to aid researchers.
